Flights to Taylor, Texas from NT$5,565

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Taylor could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Taylor a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
